EVILS OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

At this season Of the year in particular the sdvan
tages OF cash transactions conspcuously noticeable
IT'S now that the Wholesale merchants arc willing 10
close out summer goods at nominal price to the
cash buyers. And the reason is obvious IL you take
Washington as an illustration With very few excep
hons the merchants here sell credit and therefore
are not in position to visit the markets with cash in
hand. and especially just now, when they all fully
supplied with stock To illustrate the advantages Of
strictly cash purchases has only to note the record
OF the Paais Royal for the last ten days Its buyers
have been sent on to New York. And the goods secured
being bought for cash, the result is retail prices
being quoted at the Pslas Royal low the whole
sale prices Of two weeks since For Instance, week
ago large stock Of Handkerchefs were secured and
to-day very fine Linen Handkerchief with fancy
tiers and hestitched borders Of genuine French de-
signs, are being sold for 12c each while the prices
elsewhere are 19c to Csc. The handkerchief buyer
also buys Lces and the result Of the New York trip
shown by the Offering Of fine Black Chantilly Lace
Founcings and Nets at prices only made possible By
cash purchases The sensation of the week, however,
has been in the Millinery department. where all the
latest novelties in Straw Hats snd Bonusts STE offered
at just half the prices quoted by merchants who do
credit business. Flowers Feathers and Ribbons are
propoftionately cheap In fact the prices 30 low

In extent. and the rapidity with
which storm has followed storm has
rendered it impossible for any to ride
that range to secure accurate reports of the con-
dition of the herds. In some cases where cattle
had strayed and become penned the mortality
among them has been great but where they
have had free sweep across the range be-
fore the storm they have generally es-
capped with comparatively light loss. / do
not believe the losses will reach above % per
cent. on the average. although they have been
averaged as high as rs In some cases these ex-
aggerated reports set on foot for purpose
by the ranch companies themselves, and will be
used to good advantage by shaky companies

Even with the loss and discomfort entailed by
the terrific winter, Mr.. Dickerson is able to
igure out considerable advantage to the North
west from it. he says the advantage of heavy
,nowfalls to that country never be esti-
mated by people in the East. The great amount
that has fallen in the Territories will make
placer mining decidedly active this year, and
will prove of the utmost Importance to the agri-
cultural sections of the country. Even II the
cattle losses should prove one-haf great as
reported, the improvement in the price of beef
will have a great effect in stimulating the stock
industry through the West and Northwest, and
the utter ruin that has so frequently been pre-
dicted for Montana and Wyoming, as result of
the winter, seems quite little distance off yet,
the Montana editor thinks.

Another Cambridge Rioter Sentenced-In-
toxication No Excuse for Crime
BosToN, Feb 22.-Patrick Carroll, pleasant
good looking young man, was Rrraigned in the
Cambridge municipal court, yesterday, on a
charge of throwing stones at a Cambridge horse
car during the riot of Sunday evening. II am
guilty, Judge said he, ''but l was drunk and
didn't know what was DOING
"And have pity on me and his babies" cried
Mrs: Carroll; she is all there is between me and
the poor house"
In pronouncing sentence, Judge Orcott said:
IF there is one thing which has been settled in
the criminal courts of this country, it is that
drum enness is no excuse for crime. A man ia
just liable for a crime committed while
drunk as while sober, although the fact of hi
condition may sometimes weigh in mitigation of
sentence In this case, however, it might have
been an assault with intent to kill. The man
who throws stone of the size that this man
did at a in which are many passengers
ladies and children, and which might have
caused death, may fairly be called guilty Of an
assault with intent TO kill. Although the result
does not turn out TO be serious it is the same
o1ense. 1t is a serious one, and should be pun.
ished severely. 1t has come to pretty pass
that people in a civilized country cannot travel
in railroad cars without running the risk of an
attack of this kind In this case I propose to
impose sentence that the defendant will re
member. and one which will DO a lesson to
others who may have an idea of committing a
like crime Carroll was sentenced to one years

MINOR MATTERS.

Senate Rules That Work Injustice tn Nomi-
for Federal Positions.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-There is one rule of
She Senate for the regulation of secret sessions
upon nominees to federal Offices. 1t is that rule
requiring two executive sessions to be held after
=, con affirmation is made before the act of confir
nation can be made public Sometimes weeks
slapse between executive sessions. After two
of these sessions are held and confirmation
can be made public, the President is notified of
the confirmation, and he transmits such notif-
cation to the department whence the nomina-
ton came. Then the work of fixing the bond
for the officer is begun, and not till then. The
Senate is nothing if not a deiberative body, and
sometimes the nominee does not know his fate
until month has elapsed after it has been set
5ed. l have in mind man who confirmed
is postmaster about a month ago, and he has no
official information TO that effect The commits
gion of his predecessor expired some time ago,
and had it not been for this red tape the success
cor would have been commissioned and would
have been in possession of the Office at the proper
time Although weeks have elapsed since he
was confirmed he has not even had an opportu-
nifty to prepare his bond. 1t may be added that
there not the slightest objection made to
this mans conf nation, and not the slightest
necessity for any mvsteriouspess secrecy.
The postmaster In Office is anxious to take in
and teach his successor the rudiments of the
work, but he has not been given any indication
that the Senate has acted upon the nomination
of mis- successor. There are great many things
IN connection with the executive sessions OF the
Senate which work hardships and injustice, and
which so unwarrantable to disgust any
tooker-On who sees from the spot OF action.

The Isthmian Canal Question.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-It is evident to any
body here that there is determination ON the
part Of Congress to indorse and protect the con-
struction of a canal by citizens of this country
across the isthmus to the south of us. The
route in question is very desirable one and
will be great advantage to any country con-
trolling it. Americans are desired by the coun-
tries directly interested and will be favored by
them above all others. 1t is unfortunate for the
commercial interests of the country that at
least one name has been connected prominently
with this canal -snd p.railway scheme which
Is uuserary To the people of this country It
nas caused more delay than all things elsa not
excepting the responsibilities by the govern ment
pys posed in the first bills introduced on the sub
ject Since the responsibilities proposed have
been set aside it seems to make no difference
whose names may be connected with the project;
Congress is determined to take the initiative in
securing this waterway for Americans If the
work of legislation is not completed at this ses-
sion there is very little doubt that it will be at
the next. There are many who believe that the
construction of canal across the southern 18TH
mus will be the beginning of diplomatic compli-
cations which will ultimately lead to war, and
which will keep this country continually in
trouble But, at the same time, they believe we
1ave reached epoch where must act in
SANITY or lose all hope of influence in interna-
iional commerce..

An Old Fight Renewed.

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 22.-The tobacco workers
and cigar makers assemblies of the Knights OF
Labor of this city have decided not to obey the
order of the general assembly of the knights
The order was adopted in October of last year
and provides that all persons engaged in the
cigar trade who are Knights and members Of the
International Cigar makers Union shall with
draw at once from the union. This is the old
fight between the union and the knights in re-
gard to the use of the labels of the two organiza
tons. The union claims that the admission oil
the Progressive Cigar-rnakers to the knights has
injured their trade in this city, it allows the
sale of foreign in opposition to home made goods.

life in 1884 for the Mount Pulaski triple trag-
edy. in which John Mcmahon, a rich bachelor,
and his two hired men-Robert Melthewy and
John Carlock-were murdered, died yesterday in
the prison hospital. Hall was generally believed
to be innocent, and recent developments tend to
confirm that belief He proved an alibi by sew
eral witnesses on his trial. but was convicted on
the testimony of a fellow prisoner who swore
that Hall confessed the crime. That witness,
who is now in prison, has since confessed that he
swore falsely, and another convict has made a
confession charging others with the murders.
The Governor was considering Halls case. Hall

oned, but wasted away under confinement. He
protested his innocence on his death-bed.

A Feeble and Futile Attempt to Ascertain
Who Lynched Henry Wildman.

A Feeble and Futile Attempt to Ascertain
Who Lynched Henry Wildman.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
NATION. Feb 22-During the past two
weeks there has been an abiding feeling of I'M
easness among the residents in the northwest
part of Douglas and the southeast portion of
Piatt counties-the neighborhood where Henry
Wildman murdered his wife last j uly g. and who
was afterward lynched in the Jail yard at Month
cello. The uneasiness in the Widman REICH bor-
hood was caused by the inquisitorial attitude of
the grand jury of Piatt county. which called
many witness from that locality. and asked
them leading questions about the lynching Of
the murderer, but none knew who did it,
and the jury finished its Understanding fifty IN
dicrments for general offAnses, and adjourned
without finding true bill against any person
for battering down the Jail doors, taking Henry
WilGman therefrom, hanging him to a tree, and
shooting his body full of holes. Speaking in a
general way, it is known just about vino did the
enough to be admitted as evidence. That Wild
man received his Just deserts, all admit, but
mob law is deprecated. Had this human
butcher been permitted to live, and been given
his chances in the courts it is altogether prob
able that ne would have escaped the gallows on
the insanity dodge. as witnesses testified before
the late grand jury that no less than seventeen
of his direct relatives had beer sent to asylums
for the insane, most of whom yet cared for
in those institutions. There was lively scram-
BILE on the part of number in the Wildman
neigh borhood to visit relatives outside the county
during the session of the grand jury, which
shows that they do not care to be closely ques-
toned the subject. 1t is not probable that
the Wildman lynching will receive further legal
